Thus it sometimes snows, though seldom, at Naples, at Lisbon, and even at Malaga, consequently as low as the 37th degree of latitude: and, as we have just observed, snow has been seen to fall at Mexico, the elevation of which is 1173 toises above the level of the ocean.
And anyway," she dropped her voice so that none heard but himself, "why should you halt me? Who are you, to give me pause this way?" "Only a missionary," he answered, in an equally low tone, but with a smile gentle, almost wistful on his face. As with a flash the wrathful cloud vanished. "A missionary," she replied softly. "God knows I need one."
She was that low, you wouldn't believe! just nobody at all! Her father was what do you think? a country blacksmith! And though he had me, he would marry her! Oh the men! the men! they are incomprehensible! It made me mad! To think he wouldn't marry me, and he would marry her, and I might have had him myself if I'd only been as hard-hearted and stood out as long!
"He did right, your Electoral Grace!" called up Schwarzenberg, as he hastily doffed his gold-edged hat with its waving plumes, and bowed so low that the tips of the white feathers surmounting the black ones touched the damp ground. "Put on your hat, and come up," said the Elector. "It is cold down there."
In Perak it has been the custom to hunt and capture the Jakun women and make them and their children slaves.

He would go NOW. He would say good-by to Thornton and GO. He found himself running, and Kazan ran beside him. He was breathless when he came to the one lighted street of the town. He hurried to the hotel and found Thornton sitting where he had left him. "It is ended, m'sieur," he cried in a low voice. "It is over, and I am going. I am going to-night." Thornton rose. "To-night," he repeated.
All who lived within a moderate distance just stepped in with a little homespun blanket over the head, or a patchwork cradle-quilt. I noticed Rachel when she entered and took her seat upon the settle. It will only take a minute to tell what a settle is, or, rather, was. If you should take a low wooden bench and add to it a high back and ends, you would make a settle.
"We were studying," writes a classmate, "algebra and analytical geometry that winter, and Jackson was very low in his class. Just before the signal lights out he would pile up his grate with anthracite coal, and lying prone before it on the floor, would work away at his lessons by the glare of the fire, which scorched his very brain, till a late hour of the night.
High up, on the right hand, was a disc, raised and gilt, to represent the sun; on it, in low relief, there was an indication of a gorgeous palace, in which, no doubt, the sun was supposed to live; though how they made it all out my father could not conceive. The reliquary was attached to a portable stand some five feet high, and inside it was the relic already referred to.
